And what does it mean? Develop programs using XML? like this? ;-)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE xbl SYSTEM "xbl.dtd">
<xbl>
<class name="Point">
  <public>
    <var name="myvar" type="string" />
  </public>
</class>

<function name="myfunction" result="integer">
  <parameters>
    <parameter name="myparam" type="string" />
    <parameter name="anotherparam" type="integer" />
  </parameters>
  <local>
    <var name="myvar" type="string" />
  </local>
  <code>
    <sentence>
      <ident name="a" /><assign /><integer value="5" />
    </sentence>
    <sentence>
      <ident name="a" /><assign /><string value="¡Hola, mundo!" />
    </sentence>		
    <sentence>
      <perform function="myfunction">
        <ident name="myparameter" />
	<string value="hola" />
      </perform>
    </sentence>
    <sentence>
      <ident name="myvar" />
      <assign />
      <integer value="5" />
      <multiply/>
      <integer value="3" />
    </sentence>
	
    <sentence>
      <if>
        <condition>
          <ident name="a" /><equal /><integer value="5" />
	</condition>
	<code>
	  <sentence>
	    <perform function="myfunction">
	      <expr>
                <ident name="a" />
                <multiply />
                <integer value="5" />
              </expr>
            </perform>
          </sentence>
        </code>
      </if>
    </sentence>
  </code>
</function>

</xbl>

I hope they will create also a nice code editor! ;-)

Regards.
P.S. The XML-based language idea it's being on the net for several
years, but there is nothing serious about that.
